Underground Fossils is run by Dimxsk and often by Trylemma, who is on a hip hop spiritual journey in the Himalayas and may not be back for a bit. Posts are every Friday, usually some quality old sh*t but sometimes promotional posts or "reviews". We do all we can to make sure we don't post stuff that (1) You can still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You can reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You can download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asks us not to for any reason. Rips will include our own personal rips, old scene rips, and random web rips.

Earthquake Weather - Eqw (2006)

 


 

Here's one for our reader who requested some Beastmaster. I'm really excited for this one as it's an album I'd never heard of until recently, and was lucky enough to scoop up as a physical.

The Beastmaster is a founding member of the Papervehicle collective, best known as the original home of Swashbuckling Napoleon's super producer (and former rapper) Edison. A San Francisco art rap weirdo fest, Papervehicle is one of my personal favorites for their unorthodox lyricism and insanely creative and interesting production.

Earthquake Weather takes Beastmaster, pairs him with Zygoat of Audiopharmacy (a live rap act I know nothing about but can say they're awesome, I own every album they've done as a group) and has them trading dark and gritty abstract rhymes over dusty gloom bap production, with the occasional Jack Nicholson sample thrown in. What's not to like?

Enjoy Eqw!
